Margaret Rae Will (McGrail) left Mothers Day 18-03-2007 no, goodbye, no warning, just fell asleep.
She was 62 the same age as her dad when he passed away.
She was cheerful that day, sitting having a laugh and looking forward to all her Mothers Day gifts, she spent the morning with me and my sister Karen sharing a laugh over a cup of tea before I went to work. When I put my jacket on to leave she grabbed me and gave me such a hug you wouldn’t believe,‘now you look after yourself, I’ll see you later’ that was it! The last words she said to me, Karen and Jason spent some time with her, opening her gifts having a laugh and a piece of cake it was a typical Mothers Day full of love. After everyone was away Dad made dinner they sat watching the football, she was a terrible fanatic! She was enjoying a great day although she felt very tired.
She went upstairs to freshen up, when she came back down she quietly walked into the living-room, Dad asked if she was ok, ‘yeah just sorting myself’, she sat on the couch and left….. Without another word.
She lived in Drumchapel but originally came from 35 Byron Street, Partick West, she had 2 brothers John who died several years ago and Patrick who still stays in Glasgow with his grown family. She married John McColgan in 1963 and had 2 great kids John & Karen she later divorced John and several years later met Robert Will (Bobby) from Drumchapel,where they added Michelle to their family.
She stayed close to her family and loved her family around her, her mum Norah and dad Jimmy (James) especially for the occasional party.
Margaret was diagnosed with diabetes at 42 after a fall, over the years her health got worse through it, but she never let it get on top of her, even when she took heart failure at 57. No matter what with the failing eyesight and being confined to a wheelchair most days the world could not beat her, she brought her kids up the same way ‘never to let things get the better of them, no matter how tough’. In her later years she lived for her Grandson Jason who she believed was her Brother John’s spirit returning to help her through the aches and pains, no matter how bad her day was Jason made it worthwhile to live, they were the best o’ pals. No matter where mum is now, we will always know she’s listening to us and although we won’t see her we know she’ll be around somewhere
She was my entire world and I will never forget her, I know she will be sorely missed by all the family, in small ways and big ways and especially at Christmas, she never forgot anyone and I hope they return the gesture.
She was my world and I’ll love her until the end of it.
SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MY GUARDIAN ANGEL

X♥ MY DREAM♥ X
I HAD A DREAM I WAS WALKING WITH AN ANGEL, SHE TOOK MY HAND AND GUIDED ME THROUGH LIFE, ALTHOUGH I
WAS SCARED SHE TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY SHE WOULD ALWAYS BE WITH ME. EVEN WHEN I STARTED TO CRY SHE
WIPED MY TEARS AND WOULD ALWAYS COMFORT ME.
'WHEN YOU FALL, I WILL BE THERE TO CATCH YOU'
'WHEN YOU ARE DOWN, I WILL EASE YOUR MIND'
WHO COULD THIS ANGEL BE, AS I STARTED TO CRY I FELT HER SOFT WARM ARMS AROUND ME, COMFORTING ME, IT
GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO GO ON IN LIFE, THERE WAS NOTHING I WANTED MORE BUT TO KNOW WHO THIS ANGEL
WAS, SHE SAID 'ALL IN GOOD TIME'.
ALTHOUGH YOU WON'T ALWAYS SEE ME, I AM THERE AND I MAY NOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, BUT I AM
LISTENING. GO ON IN LIFE WITH THE STRENGTH I'VE GIVEN YOU AND DON'T EVER DOUBT MY PRESENCE.
AS I WAS COMING OUT OF MY DREAM, I ASKED THE ANGEL HER NAME SHE REPLIED 'MUM'.
LOVE MICHELLE X
MY MUM XXX
You were my mother and my friend,
Which was unusual.
Somehow our characters still blend:
Your wisdom and my will.
I turned, and you were there for me;
I spoke, you understood.
I felt cared for, but also free;
You loved, and I was good.
I'm fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I love you still. Though you are gone,
You live in what I do.
I just hope i continue to make you proud.
WAS I DREAMING?
Several times ive seen you, although you are far away, i sometimes struggle to hear you, and cant make out what you say,
I miss holding your hand and the smell of your perfume, although sometimes i sit alone, i sense you in the room,
I have bad days, with some being worse no good days have been in so long,
I wonder why i cannot see you, is that i have done something wrong?
I miss you mum more than you know
Or do you feel my pain?
No matter what when you left me, my world was never the same.
MERRY CHRISTMAS MUM

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

Mother
We bring you flowers when we can, and your stone we did erect, i just hope its one you'd like, one thats very select. These things we do for you now, just to show we cared, its thanks for all those years, all those many years we shared. I won't let you be forgotten in anyway, for your memory will live on in our heart, i am sorry for the goodbye we couldn't say, but it was time for us to part, You always said we would miss you and not to cry over your grave, well your words were proved to be true, now our own life we have to pave.
None of us say no to a helping hand, as our pain and hardship we smother, but nothing could be a greater loss, than you our dear mother.
HAPPY 65th BIRTHDAY MUM WHEVER YOU ARE MY LOVE ALWAYS FOREVER AND A DAY XXX
Her journey's just begun xx
Don't think of her as gone away,
Her journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she was loved so much.
From someone who comes from the drum
Sorry for your loss xxx
Gone But
Not Forgotten
♥ ♰ ♥ ♰ ♥

mothers and daughters
You can see it in their eyes,
in tender hugs and long good-byes,
a love that only moms and daughters know.
You can see it in their smiles,
through passing years and changing styles,
a friendship that continually seems to grow.
You can see it in their lives,
the joy each one of them derives,
in just knowing that the other one is there...
To care and to understand,
lend an ear or hold a hand,
and to celebrate the memories they share
memoriess foreverr
